More than 500 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students of physical therapy gathered May 22-24 in the nation's capital to improve their advocacy skills and promote physical therapist issues to members of Congress at this year's APTA Advocacy Academy and PT Day on Capitol Hill.
